The United Liberty Paper Contact, at some unknown point in time, became a secret government agent and started working for United Liberty Paper. He had possibly worked with the CIA before joining United Liberty Paper, as he has a CIA certificate in his office. In GTA V, his former apprentice [[Karen]] has gone on to work for the [[IAA]] (in-game parody of the CIA), which also supports the notion that the contact was CIA/IAA affiliated.

Mission appearances

Trivia

The United Liberty Paper contact is based in room 396 in the ULP building in The Triangle

The United Liberty Paper contact is a smoker.

All of the United Liberty Paper contact's missions involve Russians (except for That Special Someone).

While the mission string for U. L. Paper is still available, and having managed to attain a wanted level of three or more stars, Niko will, after evasion or death, receive a phone call from the U. L. Paper contact expressing his displeasure at Niko's recklessness in that he can now get away with things. In some instances, high wanted levels will cause him to call you and comment about Niko's "johnson" being too big to keep in his pants.

A diploma hanging on his office wall has the name "Edward T. Fortune". The same diploma can be seen hanging on the wall of Vic Manzano's office. Therefore, it can be assumed that it is just a generic model.

It is possible that U.L. Paper contact's appearance was based on Bosnian Serb writer Ivo Andrić, referring to his possible Serbian heritage.
